Recommended: Communication skills:quizlet

I selected interpersonal as the primary multiple intelligence for this study because he is very good at understanding people and their point of view on topics. This student is able to view others point of view even if they vary from his thoughts. He is skilled at assessing others emotions and reacting appropriately to their feelings. He has excellent communication skills in both verbal and nonverbal behaviors. He is considerate of others and enjoys working with others inside and outside of class. Very seldom is this student alone. He is well liked by his peers and works wonderfully in cooperative learning groups.
In our class we spent several weeks studying Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. We watched videos of live clips of King’s speech,

  • Spatial Intelligence According To Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence?

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Howard Gardner (1991), every individual is born with a certain intelligence or potential intelligence. It is unfair to teach and/or assess an individual with a standard guideline or benchmark. This is mainly because every individual possess a different intellectual strength and different kinds of mind that learn, perform and understand in a different ways which is difficult to be changed. If an individual cannot understand the way we communicate, we should communicate in the way they can understand. Howard Gardner (1983), in his Multiple Intelligence Theory, proposes that human intelligence has seven dimensions that should be acknowledged and developed by the encouragement of learning and self-development and

  • The Impact of Dr. King's Vision on My Life

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the summer of 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to Chicago, Illinois, to further press his campaign of equal rights for all Americans. Dr. King led a march through Chicago and some of its neighboring suburbs to promote that ideal. To many, this march is best known for the negative treatment of the peaceful demonstrators in the more racially prejudiced suburbs of Chicago: Berwyn and Cicero. When the demonstrators reached those two suburbs, rocks and bottles were hurled at them by onlookers who did not agree with the peaceful beliefs of Dr. King and others participating in the march. However, Dr. King was prepared for this kind of reaction and made sure men stood at the front and back lines of the group; he also had men placed on the outside of each line as protection for the women and children marching. These men became known as Dr. King's lieutenants. My father was seventeen at the time of this march, and Dr. King used him as one of his lieutenants. Moreover, Dr. King met separately with his lieutenants in groups of five to ten at a time; therefore, my father had the privilege of having a private meeting with one of the great leaders in history. He described his encounter with Dr. King as one of the best experiences in his entire life, and the only other person whose impact would have been as great is Jesus. My father feels that way because like Jesus, Dr. King was willing to die for his people. The meeting between Dr. King and my father has had a major impact on my life because Dr. King showed my father and several others peaceful means of obtaining their goals, and these teachings have reciprocated to me.

  • The Life of Martin Luther King Jr.

    641 Words  | 2 Pages

    ... Luther King Jr. was greatly influenced by the Rosa Parks Scandal, this caused him to create the Montgomery Bus Boycott. For those who may not know, this was a 13-month mass protest. During this protest, laws became disregarded, fights rang out, and many people and officials got hurt. It became an ongoing issue that many saw no end to. State government officials believed it was time to make a change. This eventually resulted in the ending of racist policies. This took time and effort and shows us a remarkable example of a social reform. While this sounds all good and dandy, it wasn’t easy and frankly, it was pretty hard, I mean, think of all the people who had grown up with the understanding that separation of the races was right. What i’m trying to say is, it was difficult to rewrite a way of life, and change minds by viewing the hardships brought upon black people.

  • The Negative Influence Of Rosa Parks

    Even though this happened two years ago Rosa Parks has influenced many integrationists, whether or not in a bad way it was an influence. Rosa Parks is still an idol to many but, some here think she was just a bad influence. Rosa Parks did have courage most definitely but to say that she was extremely brave is nonsense some may say. Rosa Parks was not the first negro woman to refuse to give up her seat to a white person, that was 15-year old Claudette Colvin and she is not recognized by many. This event with Claudette Colvin happened about 9 months before Rosa Parks did this and she was arrested as well. Needless to say Rosa was involved in raising defense funds for Claudette. Rosa, when she did this, was trying to put out a “message” that

    Interpersonal intelligences are nearly the complete opposite because it is said that “Interpersonal intelligences reflects an ability to recognize and understand other people’s moods, desires, motivations, and intentions” (www.edutopia.org). The third intelligence that I correspond with is logical-mathematical intelligence and Gardner says that “Logical-mathematical intelligences describes the ability to develop equations and proofs, make calculations, and solve abstract problems” (www.edutopia.org).
